It is summertime and your winter coat factory is trying to decide its production schedule and staffing level for the next season. You are forecasting a demand of 5000 coats in October, 8000 coats in November, 8000 coats in December, 12000 coats in January, 12000 coats in February, and 9000 coats in March. You want to manufacture these coats at the lowest cost possible/ The first decision you need to make is how many people to hire. Each employee will cost $2500 a month. You don’t want to hire or fire any employees mid-season in order to minimize disruptions in your factory floor. You can have employees idle if there isn’t sufficient work for them to do. Employees still need to be paid even if they are idle. An employee works 20 business days a month and takes half a day to produce one coat. The employees can also be asked to work overtime, in which case you need to pay them $70 per coat they produce. You don’t need to assume there is any capacity constraint on the number of overtime…
Valencia products makes automobile radar detectors and assembles two models. Laser stop and Speedbuster both models use the same electronic components after reviewing the components required and the profit for each model, the firm found the following linear optimization model for profit, where L is the number of LaserStop models produced and S is the number of Speedbuster models produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use. Solver to find an optimal solution. Interpret the optimal solution, identify the binding constraints and verify the values of the slack variables . Maximize profit = 123 L + 139 S 19 L + 11 S < 4,000 (availability of component A) 6 L + 9 S < 35000 (availability of component B) L > 0 and S > 0 The optimal solution is to produce how many Laser stop models ? And how many Speedbuster models ? The maximum possible profit is ? Component A is or is not a binding…
A company can purchase component H from 3 potential suppliers. Supplier A charges a fee of $5.50 per component. Supplier B charges $1500 per order plus $2.00 per component ordered. Supplier C charges $4.00 per component, and requires the buyerto pay for at least 280 components (even if the order size is less than 280). ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 4) What is the full range of order sizes where each supplier is optimal?5) The company decided to buy 300 units of component H from supplier A. How much money could the company have saved if it purchased the 300 units from supplier C instead of supplier A?6) Next week supplier B will be running a 10% off special. If the company needs to purchase 600 units of component H during the special, which supplier should be chosen?
How did you find the solutions in the table for the range of optimality for the profit coefficient?

Abc limited has a production capability of 2.4 million units but currently produces less than 1.3 million units. To reach 75% utilization level at which it is beak even point capacity needs to be reduced by 30%. The company plans to reduce capacity to 1.65 million units which is 82% utilization. The managers intends to close 5 factories which employs 16000 employees therefore cutting capacity by 30% which has a utilization of 80%. Come up with three quandratic equations from the above information.
The DellaVecchia Garden Center purchases and sells Christmas trees during the holiday season. It purchases the trees for $10 each and sells them for $20 each. Any trees not sold by Christmas day are sold for $2 each to a company that makes wood chips. The garden center estimates that four levels of demand are possible: 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 trees.a. Compute the payoffs for purchasing 100, 200, 500, or1,000 trees for each of the four levels of demand.b. Construct a payoff table, indicating the events and alternative courses of action.c.

The Chewy Candy Company would like to determine an aggregate production plan for the next six months. The company makes many different types of candy but feels it can plan its total production in pounds provided that the mix of candy sold does not change too drastically. At the present time, the Chewy Company has 70 workers and 9000 pounds of candy in inventory. Each worker can produce 100 pounds of candy a month and is paid $19 an hour (use 160 hours of regular time per month). Overtime, at a pay rate of 150 percent of regular time, can be used up to a maximum of 20 percent in addition to regular time in any month. It costs 80 cents to store a pound of candy for a year, $1,200 to hire a worker, and $1,500 to lay off a worker. The forecast sales for the next six months are 8000, 10,000, 12,000, 8000, 6000, and 5000 pounds of candy. a.Determine the costs of a level production strategy for the next six months, with an ending inventory of 8000 pounds. b.Determine the costs of a chase…
